Next month Alley will start with a new expo Camp Out featuring art from Ephameron, Ward Zwart and Louis Reith. It’s the last expo. At least for me. Our gallery will move to another location (just a few streets away) located on the Dorpsstraat in Hasselt. And I will leave the team in order to focus on different things. From time to time I’ll still be helping out I guess, updating the website for example. :)

Alley won’t change, but it will get rid of the guerrilla label without changing its attitude! So expect more upcoming and rising artists. More information can be found on our website (in Dutch) or on our Facebook page (in Dutch).

I had a lot of fun at Alley. And it was a difficult decision to make. But I’m happy that Daan and Debora will keep Alley open, and I wish them a lot of success with it in the future. They’re doing a great job!

I’ll probably take some time off after this, spending my Saturdays with my girlfriend from now on. :)

If you are in Hasselt during the coming 2 months, don’t forget to swing by our gallery. We just opened our 6th expo already! Midsummer Show brings you work of Merijn Hos (NL), Debora Lauwers (BE) and CÄät (BE). We tried to find the perfect combination of illustrators to get through this hot summer.

The name Debora may ring a bell. Together with Daan and myself, we run the gallery Alley since september last year. She’s the creator of Mr Lapin. One crazy, but cute rabbit, with a french twist.

For more information, check our website (only available in Dutch).

This Saturday we will be present at Rock Herk with lots of stuff from our shop. So if you are up for a free music festival, clear your calendar! My sister will join us too with Paplou!

Last night we had a good start with our new expo, Random Order, at Alley. Again we had a full house! It’s always nice to see that so many people like what we do at the gallery, but the free beers probably did their part of the job too. So thank you Vedett. :)

Of course this means we had to say goodbye to Them Or Us… I usually buy something from the expo, so every time I can take a piece of it home for my collection.

For this new expo we invited Erosie, Graphic Surgery, Zward and Bier & Brood. While Zward and Bier & Brood provided us with an awesome display in our window, we had Erosie and Graphic Surgery working on a wall painting. Which you can see in this little video.

More pictures from yesterday will be up soon on our Flickr page.
